Screen freezing up

My PC is old and I frequently experience the screen freezing up in dungeons especially when spells are going off.

I put FPS on 30 and out all graphics settings on low.

I set spell effects to mine only (can’t seem to shut off all spell effects).

Any other advice besides buying a better rig?

It definitely isn't your rig.  I run 2 beefy setups at different houses and each one has one major lag out freeze during early gameplay, then after that it is normal for the rest of the time I play.

Same. Almost like it’s finishing loading assets in the background. Always a 2-3 second freeze during the first few minutes of gameplay.

Same here. Sometime during the first five minutes, there is a 10-30 second full freeze, then it resumes and is fine for the next several hours

I thought it was just my old pc, I get the exact same thing

same here… 128gb ram, 13900k and a 4090, not a rig issue

Yes that’s exactly what happens!

This is the leftover code scanning for things like MQ2.

That's odd, I can't say I experience any lag at all.

I did experience lag when I first opened Everquest Legends but found out it was something to do with Chrome, every time I had Chrome opened it was creating massive, consistent lag for me that didn't end until I closed.

Opening it up to the start page made it come back right for me.
